UNRESOLVED ISSUES

USACE and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) are engaged in formal

consultation under the Endangered Species Act to identify and evaluate

probable impact to the Florida panther. An initial determination of “may affect,

likely to adversely affect” was made for the endangered Florida panther because

the recommended reservoir site is in agricultural use and within the habitat

expansion area of the panther, requiring evaluation of cumulative impacts to

panther habitat, and issuance of a Biological Opinion by the USFWS. Additional

concerns about potential impacts to the wood stork and bald eagle are pending

based on completion of an evaluation of an ecological risk assessment on the

Woerner tract. USACE is working actively with USFWS to resolve the formal

consultation and expects timely resolution of these issues.
